Market Friday: Lovely wares in a great coffee shop

I love the fact that so many coffee houses support local artisans by displaying and selling their wares. This particular collection was on display at a local Dunn Brothers coffee shop. It’s a rather small chain but people around here are passionate about it.

Before I forget, did you know #Marketfriday is hosted by Hive account@dswigle — one of the most delightful Hive members ever? Be sure to visit her blog. She writes the best Market Friday posts!

Okay back to Dunn Brothers. I ended up there on this particular day because we had a power outage and I had to go get an internet connection to keep working. And I was so charmed by the displayed work of an artist as I waited for my sandwich.

In case it’s not obvious, that is a flag-themed trivet made out of wine corks. Isn’t that clever?

She puts together all kinds of crafty, clever, decorative and useful things from ordinary objects and items that might otherwise end up in the landfill

I was really impressed. In fact later it occurred to me that I spent my time admiring everything, and should have purchased something to support her work!

Well good news, I did get her information so you can shop for her wares too!

Seriously, she is talented — creating everything from jewelry to wall decor. It really made me wish that i was more crafty.

Well that’s it for my Market Friday post, friends! If you haven’t done so yet, check out the community and Hive account@dswigle’s blog and jump in. It’s a great community. Oh, and remember to support artisans. (Their wares make great holiday gifts!)

Thanks for visiting!
